NON-BEFILLAIBLE BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented D n-2e12, 1916..

Application filed April 10, 1914. Serial No. 830,985.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, VVILLIAM J. Hown, a subject of the King of England, residing at Port Dalhousie, in the Province of Ontario, Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Non-Refillable Bottles; and 1 do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to non-refillable bottles.

The object of the invention resides in the provision of a novel construction of valve adapted to be secured in the neck of a bottie and when so secured will permit of the contents of the bottle being dispensed and at the same time effectually prevent refilling of the bottle.

ith the above and other objects in view the invention consists in the details of construction and in the arrangement and com bination of parts to be hereinafter more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing the invention in detail reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts in the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a sectional view of the neck of a bottle having the improved valve mounted therein and the latter being shown in elevation; Fig. 2, a view similar to Fig. 1 with the valve in section; Fig. 3, a view similar to Fig. '2 with the bottle tilted to a position. to discharge the contents thereof; and Fig. 4-, a fragmental perspective view of the valve detached.

Referring to the drawings 10 indicates the bottle neck in which is mounted the improved valve A. This valve A is shown as embodying a cylindrical side wall 11, an incline top end 12, and an inclined bottom end 13, the inclination of the latter being opposite to that of the top end 12. The top 12 isprovided with a discharge opening 1-idisposed at one side thereof, while the bottom 13 is provided centrally with an opening 15. Rising from the bottom 13 is a cylindrical tubular member 15 arranged concentric with respect to the opening 15 and having its side wall disposed a short distance outwardly of the opening 15 to form a shoulder 16. As the bottom 13 is inclined it will be obvious that the tubular member 15 will be inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the neck and the upper end of said tubular member will be disposed nearer at one side to the wall 11 than to the other side. The upper end of the tubular member 15' is closed as at 17 and the side wall of said member is provided with an opening 18 adjacent the bottom 13, This opening 18 is disposed in line with the side of the tubular member 15 which is nearest the wall 11. Slidable in the tubular member 15 is a valve 19 which when the bottle is in the position shown in Fig. 2 closes the opening 18 so as to render refilling of the bottle impossible. When the bottle in the position shown in Fig. 3 the valve 19 ill move to the upper end of the member 15 so that the contents of the bottle can pass out through the opening 15, opening 18 and'opening 1-1. When the bottie is not in use the mouth of the neck 10 is closed by removable cork 20.

Formed on the inner wall 11 above the member 15 is a projecting portion 21 which serves as a further safeguard against the insertion of a wire for the purpose of manipulating the valve 19.

hat is claimed is In a device of the class described, a cylindrical casing having openings in its ends respectively and adapted for insertion in a bottle neck, a tubular member formed integral with one end of: the casing and inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of said casing, said tubular member having one end closed and its other end in com munication with the opening in the end of the casing, and further having an opening in that portion of its side wall which is inclined toward the side wall of the casing, and a projection on the Side wall of the casing between the tubular member and the opening in the end of the casing remote from the tubular member and extending across that portion of the side wall of the tubular member which is provided with an opening. 7

In testimony whereof, I atliX my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.
